Pathfinder General

So, thoughts?

Good to know.
I'll probably just trash Spellwarded actually. Since it doesn't fit with the theme considering fighters are still non-magical martials.

Yes, frontiersman is supposed to be used in conjunction with Mounted Combat, making it very handy as a bonus.

I'll junk Sacred Weapon for something else then.

>Wilderness focus in place of bonus feats
So you're just a worse ranger now?

Same with Divine Focus and warpriest.

Also fighter doesn't have the skillpoints to take advantage of all their new class skills. With 2+INT and no other class features that use Intelligence, they're never going to be the skillmonkey.

Thanks for the input. will be making a fix.

Oddly enough.

The way to make fighter an impressive martial is to just make Myrmidon the default fighter in a setting where full initiators don't exist.

User of loads of different combat disciplines and trained in extraordinary techniques.
It's exactly what the fighter should be.

They get outexpertised by full initiators of course, so that's why they'd need to be the only ones - it's kind of like how 5e improved the fighter, by giving them a pseudo-initiator archetype.

When you level up, can you take the favoured class bonus for a class ability you didn't unlock yet ?

For example taking a +1/4 to the banner bonus as a first level human cavalier.

Forget all that shit, just give them 4 skill points per level maybe make them trade a class feature to up it to 6 per level.

This is the way to think about it:
The fighter in itself has no identity as a class.
It's a shell. Bravery, weapon training, armor training, are just flat modifiers that have no character to them. Bravery is flat out worse than just having a good will save progression.
Its gimmick was that it has double the amount of feats as any other class, and so it could use them to mold itself into whatever it wanted to be by having extra access to feats and their power of customization.

In Fantasy Craft, there's a class called the Soldier that's exactly the same framework, and Soldier is one of the best combat classes. Because Fantasy Craft feats are all worth taking, and PF martial feats are terrible and bogged down with taxes and prereqs.

But that doesn't change the fact that bonus feats are the Fighter's identity. If you're taking them away, you really need to give them something new that lets them stand on their own. Myrmidon gives them maneuvers and grit, which are two entire systems, and it works. The tiny features you're giving them are just generally nothing impressive, nothing that makes them stand out compared to just taking a different class.

Addendum: another thing to keep in mind though is that by that point you've completely remade the Fighter into something else. It's pretty much what you have to do if they're trading out all their bonus feats in normal play range.

Can i use the Halo alternate trait for ansimar, coupled with adopted/scion of humanity, to fuel Minor Wishcraft for infinite uses?
